Description
Dark Oak Wood is a block that shows bark on all sides and is part of the dark oak wood family used for rustic builds and heavy timber accents. The wood block is useful for builders who want a consistent log texture even when the sides are visible and it works well as a structural column or as a decorative post in large builds. The deep brown bark texture pairs nicely with dark oak planks and leaves to create cohesive tree based designs and natural looking structures. Unlike standard logs that show rings on the top the wood block keeps the bark pattern on every face which is handy when you need a uniform look in a wall or a pillar. Use dark oak wood to create heavy timber frames beams and supports that make a build feel grounded and durable. The block is renewable through sapling farming and can be harvested with an axe to collect wood for further conversion to planks and other items. Because the wood block is widely used across crafting recipes it forms an important part of supply management for long term building plans. Many players use the wood block for interior beams and exterior posts where a full bark finish is desired for visual effect. The wood block is also useful for crafting and for creating stripped variants by using an axe to change its appearance.
